Introduction

• Ecodesign and energy labelling framework – two key instruments

• Energy label is recognised and used by 85 % of Europeans
• Review: Ecodesign working plan 2016-2019
• Draft texts are available – publication OJ expected for December 2019
• March 2021 is the final schedule, transition starts in 2020

EU Label for Washing machines

Label: All about Cotton

1995: Cotton 60
2010: Cotton 60 + Cotton 40
2019: “eco 40-60”
@ CENELEC 2019 EEDAL 2019 2019-11-07 4
Key content of the new EU label

• Energy class – A…G scale

• Energy consumption per 100 cycles [kWh]
• Load size – rated capacity
• Programme duration in h:min at rated capacity
• Water consumption per cycle [L]
• Spin-drying efficiency classification – A….G scale
• Airborne acoustic noise emissions
A…D scale (refers to spinning phase)

Eco 40-60
This new programme is to be introduced
for all washing machines and all washer dryers in Europe

Eco 40-60

A washing cycle called ‘eco 40-60’,

+ which is able to clean normally soiled
cotton laundry
declared to be washable at 40 °C or 60 °C
= together in the same cycle.
40-60

@ CENELEC 2019 EEDAL 2019 2019-11-07 6

Ecodesign Requirements

• Programme Requirements: Washing cycle called Eco 40-60 & and 20°C
• Energy Efficiency Requirements – minimum requirements:
2021: Energy Efficiency Index (EEIW) < 105
2024: Energy Efficiency Index (EEIW) < 91
• Functional Requirements:
Washing Efficiency Index / Rinsing Effectiveness:
minimum requirements
• Requirement on duration:
Programme time is limited – a time cap is introduced
• Weighted water consumption requirement
• Low power modes
• Ressource Efficiency requirements °C ?
• Information requirements

CENELEC Update of EN60456

Rinsing Effectiveness
Temperature Measurement
Test scenario – number of repetitions

@ CENELEC 2019 EEDAL 2019 2019-11-07 9

Rinsing Effectiveness

CENELEC TC59X WG 01-08 has developed TS 50677 LAS Method

Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate
Surfactant
Key ingredient of the detergent

@ CENELEC 2019 EEDAL 2019 2019-11-07 10

Temperature Measurement

CENELEC TC59X WG 01-06 develops a new TS

Measurement and evaluation method

to determine a representative maximum temperature
reached inside the load during the washing cycle

@ CENELEC 2019 EEDAL 2019 2019-11-07 11

Test scenario: number of repetitions

CENELEC TC59X WG 01-06 reworks ANNEX ZA of EN60456

10 test runs are required for the test washing machine:

3 test runs with treatment full;
4 test runs with treatment half;
3 test runs with treatment quarter.
